lsit not plain that the saloon is really
potent factor in what are known as

money out of the pockets of the
masses, must not its effect be finally
to aid in the scarcity of money and
the arrangement of the financial bal

every one that this is the effect.
There are men who have so little
power of thought as to believe, in a

suppose, apparently, because money
passes in the transaction, that it must,
necessarily, be business. There is
not the first element of real business
about it. Trade, or commerce, pre-
supposes the exchange of one COM

OF these is money. In every legiti-

The first one had sum of money, the
second one had an equivalent amount

But in the case of the saloon, how is
it? The workingman pays over his
money; what has he to represent that
money as he staggers home to his mis-
cradle familya Nothing, and worse than
nothing. He has only lost his money,
but he has degraded his manhood, in
jured his health, lost his self-respect
and respect and confidence of all decent
men. The exchange is abominably one
sided. 1t is entirely to the advantage

ONE of the best signs of the times,
referred to by several of our exchanges,
is that it is more and more difficult for
young men who drink to get employ
ment. 1t is remarked that the railroad
companies are getting very strict. and
that all who employ skilled labor ''will
now, generally, have none but the
strictly temperate" On this daily
paper observes: ''Men are not likely to
be drunkards, unless the habit is
formed when they are young, and if
the young can not get employment if
they tipple, a great part of them will
never form the habit" Let this work
go on. Employ no man in any re-
sponsible position addicted to drink
or a frequenter of saloons. --Baptist

HIS .IMPERTINENCE.
Miss Violet Dennis THANKSGIVING
Romance.

On gloomy evening in Novembera
young lady was walking rapidly along
the country road leading out of the lit
tie village of N. 1t was an iso-
dated region, and she had met no one
except now and then tired laborer re-
turning from his short autumn DAYS
work, who gazed at her with some ur-
prise, as he made her an uncouth salu-
tation.
For this young lady, Miss Violet
Dennis by name, was very evidently
not of this locality, as one saw at a
glance. From the top of her little close
walking-hat to the tip of her dainty boot,
she was as elegant and stylish as ma
ture and art could make her. Her
presence here just now was due to the
fact that she had fingered late at a
country clearinghouse, where she had
accompanied an invalid aunt, after the
gay season of the watering-placesw was
over This was the last evening of
her stay at N, as she was now re-
turning from the daily constitutional
which she made a great point of She
was walking rapidly, for there was an
Imminent threatening of rain-already
a few stray drops had fallen. Reflect
ing that she had neither waterproof
nor umbrella, she began to feel very
apprehensive, and not without reason,
for in few minutes more she found
herself in the midst of steady, settled
down-pour, which soon drenched her.
She couldn't help laughing at the idea
of her absurd appearance, and was
plodding bravely on, when she sud-
denly became aware of q buggy APP
preaching her.
1t contained one person only-a
young gentleman, who had the air of
q man of the world, and was dressed
in the rough-textured, well-ftting
equipments suited to hunting expe-
dition,
The rain was coming down in tor
rents as he approached Miss Dennis.
and he gave her q very bewildered
gaze, and lifted his hat automatically as
he passed. The next instant an ex-
preston of wonder, doubt and sur
prise came into his face, and he alb
ruptly turned his horse and came up
10 her side, springing from the buggy
and addressing her with much earnest
ness.
Pray let me drive you to your
destination" he said, barring his head
to the rain and looking at her scrutin-
izingly.
THANK you very much, but don t
mind the rain.n said Miss Dennis.
"Besides, l am half way there and am
already wet"
"Allow me to insist. though have
no right" he said, with manner that
was extremely deferential, despite its
hurry. lit is really the only thing to
do
Almost before she knew what she
was doing, Violet found herself walk
ing toward the buggy, and the next
instant the young man had taken from
it mans rubber coat, and was hold
ing it out for her to put on. At this
Miss Dennis drew back, somewhat
haughtily. She was often called
naughty by her friends, and sometimes
laughed at by them because of it.
"Oblige me by putting this on at
once" the young man said, in voice
that had such an imperious ring that
Violet was actually surprised into
compliance. An instant more firm
hama under her elbow had assisted her
to her seat, and the young man had
taken his beside her, and carefully

THE Western Christian AdUocdte in a
late issue states that carefully
gathered statistics show that over ten
and quarter millions of dollars were
contributed for missions during the
past year by the evangelical churches
in this country and in Europe"
While in the aggregate ten and a
quarter millions of dollars for missions
would seem a large sum for the evan
gelical churches of the country and
Europe to contribute the past year,
yet the contributors to the ten thou
sand liquor-saloons of this city alone
can make a much larger showing,
amounting to at least FIFTY millions for
the same period! National Temperance

THE REASON WHY.

Why 90 they keep Thanksgiving"
ASKED Goldenhair of me,
: AS in the twilight shadows
She sat beside my knee;
Why does it come in winter,
When days are dark and cold,
And not when summers sunshine
Is pouring floods of goldg'
brush from her snowy forehead
The shining waves OF hair
For she is bright and bonny,
With not thought of care.
II Goldenhair will listen,
Ill tell the reason why
The people keep Thanksgiving
Under wintry sky.
Long, long ago, my darling,
w hen the country here was new,
There sailed across the ocean
good ship, strong and true;
She brought brave men and women
Who toiled with heart and hand
To build their household affairs
Within the strange, new land.
NAAA ANNJ IA lOFcSL
The settlers felled the trees,
And the ringing sound Of axes
was borne upon the breeze;
And far within the clearings
Their humble homes were made,
Woere birds sang in the thickets
And streams of water played.
But once there came summer
With storms Of sleet and snow
That froze the tender branches,
And laid the young crops low;
The men tOiled worn and weary,
AL day in the barren field,
But the harvest brought them only
A small and scanty yield.
And faith began to waver,
And the women prayed and wept,
For the children must be nourished
With the small supplies they kept;
Until one day the preacher
CHis kind face lined with care)
Had called his flock together
To meet, and offer prayer.
But, bark! a sudden clamor
Has risen in the town;
And, look within the harbor
A ship sails slowly down;
Over the dancing water,
Over the crested wave
They know she brings them plenty
40 help, sustain and save.
y" And far from over the water
There sounds a ringing cheer,
And then, before they answer,
Another, loud and clear;
And, loosened from their mornings,
The boats have sailed away,
While the gallant ship has anchored
In the shelter Of the bay.
Rich are the stores she brings them
Of welcome food and wine;
And hands are clasped in greeting,
And joyous faces shine;
There is warmth and hope in future,
There is corn in golden store
To last till cold is ended,
Ana the summer comes once more,
God bless our friends in Englandp
The gray-haired preacher said,
AS, on the sands, the people
hnelt With uncovered head.
we thank the God who leads us
Ky many winding ways,
And changed our supplications
10 joyful songs of praisel
And this is why, my darling,
In the fading of the year,
When the yellow moon is shining.
And nights are cold and clear;
When purple grapes have ripened,
AND autumn brought its hoard,
we call our friends together
Around the festal board"
God bless our brave New England
Her hills in grandeur rise;
Her storms are fierce and raging,
But blue her smiling skies;
Proud are her sons and daughters,
Who own her noble sway,
Of the grand old pilgrim fathers
Who kept Thanksgiving Day.
